ABSTRACT:
Anti-lock braking system for an automobile is disclosed. It includes a brake unit that can control brake pressures within wheel cylinders of each road wheels of the automobile separately. In an anti-lock control mode, a control unit is operative to determine a controlled wheel speed for a road wheel to be controlled. The control unit determines a slip of the road wheel based on the determined controlled wheel speed and activates the brake unit in a direction to decrease the determined slip. In determining the controlled wheel speed, the control unit is operative to select a higher one of actual wheel speeds of front and rear road wheels on the opposite side to the side where the road wheel to be controlled exists. Then, the control unit is operative to use, as the controlled wheel speed, a lower one of an actual wheel speed of the road wheel to be controlled and the selected higher one wheel speed.
